2. Defining Software Engineering CS 325 January 13, 2015 Page 2 Software engineering as a discipline is focused on the research, education, and application of engineering processes and methods to significantly increase software productivity and software quality while reducing software costs and time to market.

Software engineers learn much more about creating high-quality software in a systematic, controlled, and efficient manner.

7. Software Processes CS 325 January 13, 2015 Page 7 A software process is a division of software development work into distinct phases containing activities with the intent of better planning and management. Waterfall Prototyping Evolutionary Spiral Unified Agile

8. Waterfall Process Model CS 325 January 13, 2015 Page 8 The sequential approach of the waterfall model is rather old-fashioned but still effective in some circumstances. System Requirements Definition Software Requirements Analysis Software Design Coding & Unit Testing Integration & Integration Testing Acceptance Testing Maintenance Waterfall ProsWaterfall Cons Strict development stages and milestones make revisiting earlier stages difficult Early feedback from users is difficult to obtain since early iterations are not available to be examined Project cancellation is rarely mitigated by early achievements in design and analysis, only by late achievements in late code and testing Makes planning, scheduling, and tracking progress simple Permits pipelining of tasks (requirements analysis, design, coding, testing) Accommodates updates to large systems that rarely need major changes
